Question

Oceanside bike rental shop charges 16 dollars plus 9 dollars an hour for renting a bike.Sam paid 52 dollars to rent a bike.How many hours did he pay to have the bike checked out?

Answer 1

4 Hours

Explanation:

Since the equation is:

y = 9x + 16

You have to find x

This is the logical way:

52-16 = 36 because thats the starting fee

So 36 divided by 9 equals 4

You do that because 9 is the charge per hr

So he rented it for 4 hours.

Hope this helps:)
